Back in 2012, while backpacking through Europe, I joined a group heading into a gorge in Crete. I overheard an Australian couple say it was “only a 5k hike” and they’d be wearing thongs.
You can probably guess what image popped into my head.
Turns out Australians call flip flops “thongs”… and these absolute legends did the entire rocky hike in them. I tell the full story here if anyone wants a laugh:

When my family first immigrated to Canada, we were fresh off the plane, barely spoke English, and were told to “take the subway.”

We did.
Just… not the right one.

This still lives rent-free in my head, so I turned it into a short video.
Hope it gives someone a laugh (or flashbacks).
